HISTORY WAS MADE ON THIS DAY
HE STILL KEEPS US LAUGHING!
Dramatic and comedic actor Leslie Nielsen had a career spanning 60 years, he appeared in more than 100 films
and 150 television programs, portraying more than 220 characters.
Nielsen, upon his discharge from the Royal Canadian
Air Force at the end of World War ll, became a disc
jockey before receiving a scholarship to study theatre
at the Neighborhood Playhouse.
OVER $6 THOUSAND FOR THIS?
An Australian artist’s latest masterpiece is a McDonald’s pickle
stuck to a ceiling — and he wants $6,200 for it.
The gallery director said “The work, simply titled "Pickle," gets
at the question of how people attribute value and meaning to
things”.
Whoever buys the art will get instructions on how to recreate it
for themselves.
WRITER/HUMORIST DIED ON THIS DAY
Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens)
(November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910)
Twain was born two weeks after Halley’s Comet‘s closest
approach in 1835.
In 1909 he said…”I came in with Halley’s Comet in 1835. It
is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it.
It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don’t go
out with Halley’s Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt:
"Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came
in together, they must go out together".
Twain’s prediction was accurate; he died of a heart attack
on April 21, 1910, in Stormfield, one day after the comet’s
closest approach to Earth.
